Xywrite doing a directory in reverse descending date order
as per XY3's dsort settings gives
JAN2000 205 12-01-01 7:51p
BIYANG1 201 718 12-01-00 7:49p
NOV98 -0- 178 11-30-98 11:55p
so you can't see the 2000 part but it sorts
correctly.
I don't do date calculations so haven't tried
the idea of a two-digit date setting in such
calculations.
